WARNING

•

Due to reduced field of vision when using the vehicle mounted

(manual) controls, the remote-control unit should always be used

when operating the heavy-duty winch. The vehicle mounted (manual

controls) should only be used as a last resort (remote-control lost or

inoperable). Failure to comply may result in injury or death to

personnel.

•

Use of vehicle mounted (manual) controls requires an additional

safety observer whenever the heavy-duty winch is being operated.

Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

•

Excessive noise levels are present any time the heavy-duty winch is

operating. Wear single hearing protection (earplugs or equivalent)

while working around equipment when it is running. Failure to comply

may result in injury or death to personnel. Seek medical aid should

you suspect a hearing problem.
